The starters usually reflect the regional love for tangy, spicy, and crisp textures. Must-have Vegetarian Starters: Jain-friendly Options: To make your starters truly shine, serve them with a range of chutneys like mint, tamarind, and dry coconut, offering a burst of flavour with every bite.

Key Components of a Maharashtrian Thali: Add sides like cucumber koshimbir, pickle, papad, and lemon wedges, and you&#8217;ve got a full thali that\u2019s comforting yet festive. For modern weddings, couples often request a rotating menu or buffet-style thalis. Kiaraa Banquet offers flexibility in serving styles to suit different guest experiences. Rice, Spice &amp; Everything Nice Rice dishes are pivotal in any Indian celebration, and weddings offer some beautiful options that elevate the plate. Crowd-Pleasers: For a non-traditional yet loved option, consider Paneer Tikka Pulao or vegetable biryani with raita. These work great for evening receptions. Rice dishes are best accompanied with farsan, raita, or plain curd. They offer a wholesome balance and complete the festive food experience. Sweet Endings, Maharashtrian Style In India, no wedding is complete without sweets, and Maharashtrian weddings bring a lot to the dessert table. Sweet dishes not only wrap up the meal but also serve as a takeaway memory for your guests. Signature Maharashtrian Desserts: For health-conscious guests, low-sugar shrikhand or fruit-based sweets can be a beautiful alternative. Some couples now prefer fusion sweets like chocolate-laddoos or motichoor cheesecakes, where tradition meets trend. For the final flourish, opt for decorative mithai platters or personalized dessert jars. Venues like Kiaraa Banquet can partner with curated vendors for customised dessert setups.
